Federal authorities raided Subway spokesman Jared Fogle’s home early Tuesday morning, reportedly in connection with a child pornography investigation.

Investigators with the FBI and state police were spotted at the Zionsville, Indiana home, where an evidence truck was parked outside, according to local TV station WXIN. Anonymous FBI sources told the news station that authorities were serving warrants at Fogle’s home in connection with a child pornography investigation.

An FBI spokeswoman acknowledged to The Indianapolis Star newspaper that the agency was conducting a criminal investigation in the area of Fogle’s home but would not comment further.

The raid comes a little more than two months after the then-executive director of The Jared Foundation, his childhood obesity charity, was arrested on child pornography charges. Fogle dismissed Russell Taylor in April and told WXIN in a statement at the time that he was “shocked” by the “disturbing” allegations against Taylor.

The investigation that nabbed Taylor turned up more than 400 child pornography videos, according to The Indianapolis Star. Taylor was placed on life support after a May 6 suicide attempt in jail and is now in custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
